This review is from: The Uncanny (1972) (DVD)

THE UNCANNY has never been released on an "official" DVD in the US. The only reason I can come up w/ for this "oversight", is that the powers-that-be don't want the truth about eeevil felines to be told! In the film, Peter Cushing (THE CREEPING FLESH, HORROR EXPRESS, TALES FROM THE CRYPT, HORROR OF DRACULA) tries to convince Ray Milland (X:THE MAN WITH THE X-RAY EYES, THE PREMATURE BURIAL, FROGS, THE ATTIC) of the kitty population's nefarious plans for world domination. Milland is skeptical, even after Cushing's 3 tales of cat horror! In the first story, A wicked, disinherited nephew and his Aunt's maid attempt to destroy her will. Things go horribly awry, and Auntie's houseful of cats prove to be quite formidable and lethal! In the second tale, a little girl and her kitty named Wellington must live w/ her Aunt after losing her parents in an accident. Things don't go well, as the Aunt is very cold, and has a severely bratty daughter and a useless husband. She also hates Wellington! The little girl has a surprise for everyone, especially her nasty cousin! You see, this story involves witchcraft, revenge, and of course, Wellington! In story number three, Donald Pleasance (FLESH FOR FIENDS, HALLOWEEN 1 and 2, ALONE IN THE DARK) is a hammy actor who bumps off his co-star / wife in order to replace her w/ his girlfriend, played by Samantha Eggar (A NAME FOR EVIL, DEMONOID, THE BROOD). Unfortunately, the scheming couple must contend w/ wifey's cat, who is much smarter than either of his human antagonists! Things wrap up w/ the feline-induced fates of Cushing and Milland. THE UNCANNY must be relased on DVD! The awful truth must be told!...
